Noah Kahan Adds Two More Fenway Park Shows for 2027

Ticket demand for Noah Kahan at Fenway Park pushed the singer to add two more Boston shows for 2027.

Kahan was originally scheduled to perform on May 29, May 30, June 1, and June 2 at the home of the Boston Red Sox, CBS News reported. An artist presale for The Last of the Bugs World Tour got underway on Tuesday, and fans reported waiting in virtual queues for hours.

By Tuesday afternoon, Kahan announced that he was adding two more shows, returning to Fenway Park on June 21 and June 22. Tickets for all six shows were on sale Tuesday, and by 4 p.m., there were no tickets available for any of the Boston concerts.

Local musician and Noah Kahan fan Keith Crocker was among those who struck out after a lengthy wait. He said he has been trying to see Kahan since 2019, running into long online wait times and app crashes.

“Took me another 30 minutes, then I just error coded,” Crocker told CBS News. “The closest I have been to seeing Noah Kahan is driving home on the Pike last year.”

Kahan has pushed to keep concerts affordable by restricting ticket transfers and limiting resale prices to discourage scalpers. Boston University marketing professor Florian Elderer explained the ticketing strategy behind the high demand.

“Here, underpricing is deliberate and an investment in loyalty,” Elderer told CBS News.

Elderer said that price hikes are typically used to keep tickets available. Without them, rationing happens through other mechanisms.

“We have to find the way of rationing, not through the price mechanism, but through other allocation mechanisms, which here is who shows up first and is lucky enough to get picked out of a hat,” Elderer told CBS News about the online system.

Kahan previously played two sold-out shows at Fenway Park in 2024, concerts that became an album titled Live From Fenway, and packed the ballpark for four shows, CBS News reported. Earlier, WZID reported that Kahan became the first artist ever to sell out four consecutive concerts at Fenway Park during his July performances, drawing more than 150,000 fans.

The Last of the Bugs tour opens on April 24, 2027, at Sanford Stadium in Athens, Georgia, according to WZID. Tickets for the newly added dates are tied to the ongoing artist presale rollout.
